Appendix 3
Scoping for Equality Impact
The Council is required to have due regard to the need to:
 eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct that is prohibited by the Act
 advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not
 foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
The Act explains that having due regard for advancing equality involves:
 removing or minimising disadvantages experienced by people due to their protected characteristics
 taking steps to meet the needs of people from protected groups where these are different from the needs of other people
 encouraging people with protected characteristics to participate in public life or in other activities where their participation is
disproportionately low.
The protected characteristics are:
 Age
 Disability
 Gender reassignment
 Pregnancy and maternity
 Race
 Religion of belief
 Sex
 Sexual orientation
The duty also covers marriage and civil partnership1 but only with regard to eliminating discrimination. And in Wales we also have to treat Welsh
and English on an equal basis as well as promoting and facilitating the use of the Welsh language.

Reasons for your decision (including evidence) / How might it impact?
Improvement Objectives 1 and 2 will work to reduce poverty and social exclusion, and promote regeneration, economic growth and
employment for citizens of all ages in the Vale of Glamorgan.
The 2014 Tackling Poverty Analysis (Local Government Data Unit) highlights that the Vale is one of the most diverse local authorities in Wales.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2014 highlights 15 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in the Vale which are amongst the 30% most
deprived of all LSOAs, 4 of which are in the 10% most deprived in Wales.
Figures at March 2015 showed that within the Vale 13% of the working age population were claiming out of work benefits, a 1.5% increase
from March 2013. This varies across areas within the Vale with some Lower Super Output Areas experiencing benefit claimant rates of up to
40%. The percentage of working age adults claiming Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) in September 2015 was 2%, marginally below the Welsh
average of 2.2%. Looking at data at LSOA level, there is clear disparity with 14 LSOAs having a higher percentage of JSA claimants than the
Welsh Average with the highest rate observed in Butrills in Barry and the lowest of 0.2% in Cowbridge.
In the Vale, research by PPIW into indebtedness in Wales found that 8% of the adult population relied heavily on credit use and 19.1% were in
arrears feeling heavily burdened. The rural nature of large parts of the Vale also presents unique challenges, where families in rural areas are
faced with higher living costs and often struggle to access services available to them.
Like all parts of the UK, the challenges faced in overcoming financial exclusion in the Vale of Glamorgan has been deepened further by the
2012 Welfare Reform Act. Research (Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research: Sheffield Hallam University) has identified that in the
Equality Impact Scoping Form
March 2016

Vale the impact will be in the region of £473 per working age member of the population. This equates to an overall loss of £38 million per year
from the local economy.
The Vale and its partners (LSB) are seeing the impact of these changes with an increase in demand for a range of services. For example
applications for Discretionary Housing payments have significantly increased since the Act came into effect. The total WG Discretionary
Assistance Fund awards made to the Vale in 2014/15 equalled £230,280.60 equating to 3.4% of total spend in Wales and a higher percentage
share than 12 other local authorities. This may indicate that more clients are referred to access this fund; equally it could indicate the
increased need for support and the number of people in the Vale engaging with services. Early intervention and prevention has been adopted
as a core principle in mitigating the impact of Welfare Reform. In relation to Council house tenants, additional resources have been put in place
for money advice and support. The Vale Food Bank has also seen a significant increase in the number of people in need of an emergency food
parcel. Between 2013/14 and 2014/15 there was a 24% increase in the number of people referred to the food bank due to benefit delays and a
6% increase due to low income.
In regards to both Objectives, due regard is paid to all service users’ individual needs through existing policies and procedures including any
disability needs.
In relation to raising overall standards of achievement (Improvement Objective 3), standards have improved for all pupils across all Key
Stages at expected or above expected levels. In nearly all cases the rate of improvement has been greater in the Vale than in the Wales
average.
Within the Vale the percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is 13.5% compared to the Wales Average of 18.8%. This level of
eligibility ranked us 5th in Wales out of the 22 local authorities in 2015 and provides important context for evaluating the outcomes for learners.
In all the main performance indicators across all phases, the performance of pupils entitled to free school meals has improved since 2012,
albeit not always at the same rate as their peers. Since 2012, in the Foundation Phase and at KS3, the performance of pupils entitled to free
school meals has improved at a greater rate than that of their peers. This has narrowed the difference in performance between pupils entitled
to free school meals when compared with their peers. However, over the same period in KS2 and KS4 the improvement trend for this group of
pupils is less consistent than for their peers. The performance gap between boys and girls has also varied since 2012. In Key Stage 3 and 4,
boys’ performance has improved at a much faster rate than girls. Boys’ performance at both Foundation Phase and KS2 has generally
improved faster than girls since 2012. The gender gap for the Foundation Phase Indicator has narrowed from 9.4% in 2012 to 6.8% in 2015.
The gender gap has also narrowed for KS2 Core Subject Indicator from 10% in 2012 to 5.6% in 2015. The gender gap at all Key Stages is
generally less than the Welsh Average and seems to be narrowing.
In partnership, we have developed provision and strategies aimed at the prevention of NEETs particularly at years 11, 12 and 1. Our coordinated approach has contributed positively in reducing the number of students leaving years 11, 12 and 13 who are NEET. NEET levels in
Equality Impact Scoping Form
March 2016
4
2014/15 compared to 2013/14 reduced at year’s 11 and 12 from 2.76% to 1.68% and 1.78% to 1.5% respectively. NEET levels at Year 13 (18
year olds) also reduced from 4.07% to 2.94%.
There is a need to progress and develop provision for 18-24 year olds. The implementation of the youth guarantee should help improve the
engagement of 18 year olds into education, employment and training. The new European Social Fund (ESF) projects with Communities First
and Job Centre Plus (JCP) advisors will also assist in increasing entrants into employment or training for 18-24 year old NEETs. The Welsh
Government’s Youth Engagement and Progression Framework (YEPF) is being further developed to provide guidance on tackling the 19-24
cohort of young people. The completion of the Vulnerability Assessment profiles by schools with sixth forms followed by brokerage and
provision of additional support to those at risk of dropping out will further strengthen our approach in prevention of NEETs. Information sharing
with Job Centre Plus in relation to 19-24 year olds will also enable better targeted provision.
Against Objective 4, encouraging and promoting active and healthy lifestyles, the Vale of Glamorgan ranked third across Wales for ‘Hooked
on Sport’ target. This indicated that 52% of children and young people aged 12-16 participate in activity at least three times a week, compared
to the Welsh Average of 48%. The Active Adult survey highlighted that this trend continued into adulthood with 48% of adults meeting the
Hooked on Sport criteria, which is the highest across Wales. Under this objective through initiatives such as the Family Information Service,
Flying Start, Families First and the Integrated Family Support Service, work is being undertaken to ensure that children benefit from safe,
stimulating, caring experiences.
Improvement Objective 5, the Reshaping of Services Strategy, will impact upon everybody who receives services from the Council, on Vale
residents and on the Council’s workforce. It may therefore have an impact upon protected groups; however, relevant Managers for each
specific service proposal will, as a minimum, ensure that due regard is paid to the Public Sector Equality Duty Wales and the need to assess
the impact of specific initiatives on protected characteristic groups. The impacts on specific groups/protected characteristics will be assessed
as part of the individual projects making up the Reshaping Services programme (in addition to the EIA which has already been completed for
the programme as a whole).

Reasons for your decision (including evidence) / How might it impact?
In regards to both Objectives 1 and 2, due regard is paid to all service users’ individual needs through existing policies and procedures
including any disability needs. Enhancements to the built environment will pay due regard to improving accessibility.
Against Objective 3, raising the overall standards of achievement, positive progression of the student/young person is a priority regardless of
disability. Provision is available to all young people, which is fit for purpose, accessible and appropriate to their learning needs.
Objective 4, activities to encourage and promote active and healthy lifestyles is a council priority which targets all Vale citizens regardless of
age or disability. The Vale of Glamorgan was ranked third across Wales for the ‘Hooked on Sport’ target. This indicated that 52% of children
and young people aged 12-16 participate in activity at least three times a week, compared to the Welsh Average of 48%. The Active Adult
survey highlighted that this trend continued into adulthood with 48% of adults meeting the criteria, which is the highest across Wales. In the
Vale extensive work is on-going to promote disability inclusion in Sport, for example the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Sport and Play team
achieved the Insport Bronze award for 2015. Across the Vale there are 22 clubs with 330 disabled people as members and 415 members of
sports sessions. Working in partnership with Disability Sport, the Play Development Team works to provide sporting activities for disabled
children across the Vale. This has resulted in a total of 124 disabled children taking up the opportunity to engage in sport over the summer.
Improvement Objective 5, the Reshaping Services Strategy, is the Council’s proactive response to central government’s austerity drive that
has created a period of unprecedented financial pressures in the public sector. The challenge for the Council is to consider alternative models
of delivery to mitigate the impact of cuts and assist in continuing to provide priority services. The Reshaping Services strategy will impact upon
everybody who received services from the Council, on Vale residents and on the Council’s workforce. It may therefore have an impact upon
protected groups; however relevant Managers for each specific service proposal will as a minimum ensure that due regard is paid to the Public
Sector Equality Duty Wales and the need to assess the impact of specific initiatives on protected characteristic groups.The impacts on specific
groups/protected characteristics will be assessed as part of the individual projects making up the Reshaping Services programme (in addition
to the EIA which has already been completed for the programme as a whole).

Objectives 1 and 2 will work to reduce poverty and social exclusion and promote regeneration, economic growth and employment for citizens
of all genders in the Vale of Glamorgan. This is true also of Objective 3, raising overall standards of achievement. Positive progression of the
student/young person is a priority regardless of their gender. It is noted that there are currently more male NEETs in the Vale than female,
around 60%; however, opportunities will be open to all genders.
In relation to Improvement Objective 4, significant work is being undertaken to encourage and promote active and healthy lifestyles in the
Vale as whole, regardless of gender. Overall, participation in leisure is an improving picture, according to the Vale Sport review for 2014/15,
48% of young people aged 12-16 years accrued 44,546 participations in the 5x60 scheme. The Vale ranked third across Wales for ‘Hooked on
Sport’ target. The Active Adult survey highlighted that this trend continued into adulthood with 48% of adults meeting the hooked on sport
criteria, which is the highest across Wales. All services will be accessible to users regardless of their gender.
Improvement Objective 5 will impact upon everybody who receives services from the Council, on Vale residents and on the Council’s

Equality Impact Scoping Form
March 2016

School Improvement and Inclusion team works in partnership with schools to challenge the under achievement of Minority Ethnic pupils as well
as looked after children.
Against Improvement Objective 4, the promotion of active and healthy lifestyles is likely to have an impact on areas of known inequalities.
Participating in sport and physical activity is recognised as having wide reaching benefits and is essential to a healthy lifestyle, which can
improve an individual’s quality of life. It addresses a wide range of social issues such as social inclusion and community cohesion; education;
skills development and lifelong learning; crime reduction and community safety; and physical and mental health improvement. All services will
be accessible to users regardless of their race.
In relation to Objective 5, the Reshaping Services Strategy will impact upon everybody who receives services from the Council including Vale
residents and the Council’s workforce. Consequently relevant Managers for each specific service proposal will, as a minimum, ensure that due
regard is paid to both the equality impact, and to the Public Sector Equality Duty Wales. Equality impact assessments will detail options to
mitigate against any adverse impact upon protected characteristic groups, and ensure that proposals are not discriminatory, advance equality
and foster good relations wherever possible. . The impacts on specific groups/protected characteristics will be assessed as part of the
individual projects making up the Reshaping Services programme (in addition to the EIA which has already been completed for the programme

All Improvement Objectives apply equality to Welsh according to the Council’s current Welsh Language Scheme and the Welsh Government’s
Welsh Language Standards. Welsh speakers accessing Council services will have the same opportunities as all other service users.
The ability to speak, read or write Welsh varies between individuals, but according to the 2011 census, 8.2% of the population of the Vale can
speak, read and write in Welsh, whereas 83.7% have no skills in Welsh. A linguistic audit of staff in 2014 indicated that some 629 employees
(21%) had a basic understanding of Welsh.
With respect to all services relating to Improvement Objectives 1, 2 and 4 due regard is paid to all service user needs through existing
policies and procedures regardless of language spoken.
Equality Impact Scoping Form

In relation to Improvement Objective 3, raising the overall standards of achievement, positive progression of the student/young person is a
priority in both Welsh and English language medium education.
Improvement Objective 5 will impact upon everybody who received services from the Council, on Vale residents and on the Council’s
workforce. It may therefore have an impact upon protected groups; however, relevant Managers for each specific service proposal will as a
minimum ensure that due regard is paid to the Public Sector Equality Duty Wales and Welsh Language standards and the need to assess the
impact of specific initiatives on protected characteristic groups. The impacts on specific groups/protected characteristics will be assessed as
part of the individual projects making up the Reshaping Services programme (in addition to the EIA which has already been completed for the
programme as a whole).
12. If you have identified any positive or negative impact (other than negligible) upon any protected characteristic groups or individuals then you
must complete a full impact assessment.
Is a full equality impact assessment required
Yes 
No 
A full equality impact assessment is not required as the Improvement Objectives are a reflection of a wide range of all Council strategies and
policies. These strategies will or have been subject to full Equality Impact Assessments by relevant service areas.
Objective 1: An equality impact assessment has been completed on the Financial Inclusion Strategy, the strategy aims to increase financial
inclusion and reduce poverty across the Vale of Glamorgan. The strategy takes into account the Vale of Glamorgan Local Service Board’s
Unified Needs Assessment 2013, and the Tackling Poverty Analysis 2014. The economic downturn and resulting credit crunch, coupled with a
series of welfare reforms, has mean that financial exclusion has become an increasingly prevalent issue. It can result in exclusion from cheaper
services- such as cashing cheques and taking out doorstep loans for small amounts. Exclusion from mainstream financial systems also presents
a barrier to understanding the various financial products available.
Objective 2: The service works in partnership with statutory partners, public and third sector organisations to promote regeneration, and any
enhancements delivered in the Vale ensures as standard practice that due regard is paid to the needs of service users, communities and
residents. All works in the public realm follow design guidance which incorporates equalities considerations. In addition, the service largely relies
on external funding which emphasises equality issues within the conditions of the grant.
Objective 3: An equality impact assessment has been completed on the NEETS Strategy and will enable limited resources to be directed to the
young people identified as NEET who are the most in need of support. Those whose need is compounded by individual challenges (disability,
Equality Impact Scoping Form
March 2016
12
mental or physical health, learning need) may not be able to access some provisions; however, efforts will be directed to facilitating and
brokering other options in accordance with the Welsh Government’s Youth Engagement and Progression Framework as appropriate.
Objective 4: Existing Equality Impact Assessments are in place to ensure that the Leisure service works to encourage and promote active and
healthy lifestyles for all people in the Vale of Glamorgan. Those whose need is compounded by individual challenges (disability, mental or
physical health, learning need) may not be able to access some provisions; however a number of schemes such as: Disability Sport, the 5x60
Scheme and Inclusive playschemes are in place to ensure there are opportunities for all to engage in activities that contribute to furthering
healthy and active lifestyles.
Objective 5: The Reshaping Services Strategy will impact upon everybody who receives services from the Council, on Vale residents and on
the Council’s workforce. Consequently, a scoping for equality impact assessment will be completed by relevant Managers for each specific
service proposal as a minimum ensuring that due regard is paid to the Public Sector Equality Duty Wales. Where full EIAs are required these will
further detail options to mitigate the impact upon protected characteristics where they can be established and ensure that proposals are not
discriminatory, advance equality and foster good relations wherever possible. . The impacts on specific groups/protected characteristics will be
assessed as part of the individual projects making up the Reshaping Services programme (in addition to the EIA which has already been
completed for the programme as a whole).
The Council’s Strategic Equality Plan includes a number of objectives developed through engagement and consultation to ensure we are fulfilling
our duties in respect of the Equality Act 2010 and the public sector equality duty, including the specific equality duty and specific duties for
Wales. Any alterations to policies will have due regard to the results of consultation with relevant individuals/groups affected and/or their
representatives. The Improvement Objectives 2016-17 aim to have a positive impact upon all citizens in the Vale of Glamorgan. This includes
everyone who receives a service from the Council; Vale of Glamorgan residents; young people who are not in employment, education or training
(NEET); vulnerable young people; adults in receipt of care; older people; children and adults with a disability; school children and Council staff.
